Every Plant in My Garden

Installment #3 in my quest to document and name each plant in my garden. I need a little help from my friends on this one.



We can all spot the Veitchia merrillii (Christmas Palms).

We can also identify the Crotons, but are they exotica? (update: it's called Mamey)

The bright green vine near the bottom right is an Ipomoea batatas (sweet potato vine).

The short bush with purple flowers is a Plectranthus 'Plepalila' (Mona Lavender Swedish Ivy)



Now, here's the hard one...what type of caladium is that? (update: it's called Aaron)





Here's a link to the IFAS Extension Office document about Caladiums for Florida. Is it a White Christmas?...a Candidum?...an Aaron?



I'm headed over to GardenWeb to ask a few Floridians their opinion. I always read all comments, and I can't wait to find out about the croton and caladium. Thanks!
